Back up: basic help needed!
Hi all,
You previously were kind enough to help me with an issue being caused by Avast eating up my back up drive space. So, I'm back again with another request.
I have got myself in a bit of a pickle about backing up. I have an external drive and have set up the Windows 7 back up procedure. All that seems to do is take a system image which I can't access unless (I assume) I need to restore it. That's all the back up I have.
So my questions are:
- what should I be doing?
- should I have a recovery disk? (don't really know what that is)
- how do I manage all this, eg in terms of frequency, etc.?
I'm not too keen on using 3rd party software for back ups.
I'm concerned that I'm not full protected at the moment, so would be grateful for your advice.
Thank you.
